Maybe.
I have been working in the same job for 10+ years. I was hired as a somewhat lower position than my current one and promoted over time. I am not sure my organization likes to hire "senior" developers - so I don't think "my" position would be available. They would probably split the work I do now into two junior positions.
This hiring pattern doesn't seem uncommon in my area. You see lots of junior-level positions kind of rolling around the typical job listing sites with very few senior roles.
Over those 10+ years I have done two or three more serious job searches. I tend to get offers but they are usually lateral moves. Meaning, roughly the same salary and work. I have some uncommon benefits at my current role so when I go on the job hunt I am typically looking for either a significant bump in pay or in work specifics (inspiring peers, programming languages, etc) or it isn't worth changing positions.
I would say that if you see interesting positions, have a go at it! Don't wait. And this is especially true if your vision for your career isn't on track to being fulfilled at your current job.
